Another amazing tool for stress management? Essential oils. Essential oils and yoga are a potent combination for combating and relieving stress.

From aromatherapy to supporting deeper, more conscious breathing, essential oils activate the parasympathetic nervous system, which is the rest and digest system of the body (counter to fight or flight in the sympathetic nervous system).

When we are in a stress state, we activate the sympathetic nervous system’s fight or flight response. This releases the stress hormone called cortisol which lowers immunity, negatively impacts memory and cognition, and contributes to weight gain (to name a few).
